enevated Soor noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent Then a
stretehy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feel heavy
and l began to have headaches.
